Fans left baffled by Ronnie O’Sullivan’s choice of shirt colour at Tour Championship

Snooker fans were left scratching their heads as Ronnie O’Sullivan stepped out onto the table at the Tour Championship sporting a murky-brown shirt. The Rocket, known for his flamboyant style both on and off the table, faced off against long-time rival Ali Carter in the quarter-final and quickly surged ahead to a commanding 7-1 lead before the mid-session interval.

The choice of shirt color sparked a flurry of reactions from fans, with some taking to social media to express their confusion and amusement. One fan likened the color to “baby poo,” while another simply stated that it “doesn’t suit him.” The comments ranged from playful jabs to outright disbelief, with one fan joking that O’Sullivan must have accidentally washed his white shirts with a stray brown sock.

After securing a victory over Carter, O’Sullivan shed some light on the reason behind his unconventional wardrobe choice. The snooker legend revealed that he had ruined all his black shirts due to the stickers and badges required at different tournaments, leaving him with no choice but to don the brown shirt.

Despite his successful season, which saw him pocket a record-breaking £1.142 million in prize money, O’Sullivan was critical of his own performance. The 48-year-old admitted that he has been struggling with his technique and described this season as one of his worst in terms of technical play.

While O’Sullivan may not be entirely satisfied with his game, his fans continue to be entertained by his unpredictable antics both on and off the table. As the snooker season progresses, all eyes will be on the Rocket to see if he can overcome his technical struggles and continue to dazzle audiences with his skill and charisma.
